Fast Ion Conducting Glasses.

Abstract

The focus of this research has been on fast ion conduction in amorphous materials. Early work concentrated on silver and copper ion containing systems. Since then the program has broadened to include the study of the kinetic processes which determine whether or not an amorphous solid is formed during the cooling of an ionic liquid. Another new development has been the introduction of the pressure variable. Initially this was intended to determine whether conductivity of glasses could be increased by compaction under pressure. However, this work branched into a study of the effect of pressure on elastomer ion systems (ion-polymer solutions) to check a possibility we raised in a plenary lecture in 1983, viz., that ion pair dissociation (which was suspected of limiting the conductivity of these systems) could be enhanced and conductivity thereby be increased. Keywords: Polypropylene glycol, Fast ion conductors, Polymer electrolytes, Decoupling viscosity, Conductivity, Molten salts.
